If you're asking how the kernel is configured, you'll find the config 
files for each kernel in the /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs/ directory, if 
you have the kernel-source rpm installed (not the same as 
kernel-2.4.bla-src.rpm!). You can load it from make menufonfig and/or 
make xconfig, then play around with the options.

I believe that the installation kernel is the one with BOOT in the name.
